    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move that the National Hospital Insurance Fund (Amendment) Bill, (National Assembly Bill No. 21 of 2021), be now read the Third Time. I take this opportunity to thank the Members who have been working on this Bill from the time it was introduced in the House for the First Reading, through the Committee, the public participation, in the Second Reading through the vibrant contributions that were made on the Floor of the House and the enrichment of the Bill that we have witnessed through the various amendments that we have considered in the Committee of the whole House from yesterday till today, all geared towards making the National Health Insurance Fund better to achieve the bigger dream of universal healthcare for our people, which is one of the Big Four Agenda items. I really wish that now that Kenyans will be covered, we can all participate and help in the rollout of the Bill. I would wish to appeal to our colleagues in the Senate, now that the National Assembly has done its bit and proved to the Kenyan people that we are not the hindrance to them achieving their health, to process this Bill in as fast a time as possible. That is so that, as we get into the new year, we can have a Christmas gift of better health to the Kenyan people and nobody needs to sell their land and mortgage their life just because they have fallen sick. We have seen a lot of that happening, especially with this COVID-19 situation where families are not just losing a dear one, The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
